Unable to stop nginx

[safetypins]

I've resolved a couple of issues with this init script by overriding variables in /etc/default/nginx, and the Nginx server now starts correctly, but I am unable to stop the nginx process via the service command. Can you think of a variable that might interfere with stopping the process, but not with starting it?

I had the same issue. I resolved it by setting only PIDSPATH in the init config file (/etc/default/nginx). On my system PIDSPATH=/run resolved the stopping problems. Setting PIDFILE didn't work.

Ok thanks for the info. I'll try to get this squared away. There are things I need to update with the script.

Can you provide OS, Nginx version? I want to add this as a test case.

Sure - it's Ubuntu 14.04. Nginx/1.10.2. Let me know if you need anything else or want me to try any changes.

BTW - Thanks for a great script!
